West Richland Citizen Survey: This Thing is Tough!
Anybody else having trouble completing the West Richland Citizen Survey? I don’t know why, but I’m finding some of the questions pretty tough to answer. You should’ve received it in the mail by now — we got ours last Saturday, I think it was. And the survey is due back by June 10th. The questions [...]

Google has added a little more of West Richland to its “Street View” tool on Google Maps. Street View is the tool that lets you see a map/town via ground-level photography. You may recall that we first noticed West Richland in Street View a year ago — but it was only along Van Giesen, as [...]
Look What Just Arrived…
We just got this in the mail today: I called the Census Bureau hotline about two weeks ago to report that our form had never arrived. The recording said I should wait until April 12th, and if it still hadn’t arrived I could call for a replacement. Well, today is April 12 and sure enough [...]

No federal tax credit, record-low interest rates, and a booming Tri-Cities economy combine to create an fascinating picture. Two seemingly disparate facts tell the 2011 Tri-Cities real estate story. #1 – Total sales for the year – 2,734, which is the second lowest total within the last ten years. (The lowest […]
- Final Friday Photo January 27, 2012I can’t believe it – I’ve been posting Friday Photos for a year now! What began as a way to climb out of the February doldrums turned into a year-long adventure that took me all over our great community! I hope you enjoyed trying to figure things out from a different perspective. I will still […]
- Building Our New Home, Part 8 January 23, 2012My husband, Matt, and I are building our new home. This is the eighth in a series of who-knows-how-many. I’m writing from the perspective of a buyer, and an agent, since I am both in this case. We had two important walk-throughs last week and the week before. On the 11th, we met with the […]
